Trigliserida rantai menengah

Trigliserida rantai menengah (TRM) adalah trigliserida dengan dua atau tiga asam lemak yang memiliki alifatik berekor 6-12 atom karbon, misalnya asam lemak rantai menengah. Sumber makanan yang kaya ekstraksi TRM yang dijual secara komersial adalah minyak inti sawit dan minyak kelapa.

Beberapa penelitian telah membuktikan bahwa TRM dapat membantu proses pembakaran kalori berlebih, sehingga menurunkan berat badan.^[1]^[2]^[3] TRM juga dipandang mempromosikan oksidasi lemak dan mengurangi asupan makanan.^[4]
